Question 71.


In churning milk, the need for churning out butter is to ________.


  1.     obtain milk
  2.     remove impurities
  3.     add impurity
  4.     get two useful components
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> get two useful components
:
D
Churning is the separation process to get useful components. In the process of churning out butter from milk, butter as well as milk is used for different purposes. Thus, we get two useful components after churning.
Question 72.


Separation is only done to filter out unwanted substances.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     To remove impurities
  4.     To get two useful components
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

 Separation is done:


1. To remove unwanted substances


2. To get useful substances


3. To remove impurities


Hence, the given statement is false.


Question 73.


The mixture of dry leaves and sand can be separated by the process of :


  1.     Threshing
  2.     Winnowing
  3.     Sieving 
  4.     Hand picking 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Sieving 
:
C
Sand is in powdered form. So by using a sieve of proper pore size, the mixture of dry leaves can be separated from sand by the process of sieving. Here, the sand particles would pass through the sieve leaving the leaves on top of it.
Question 74.


Which one of the following solids is insoluble in water?


  1.     Salt
  2.     Sugar
  3.     Sand
  4.     Coffee powder
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Sand
:
C
Salt, sugar and coffee powder can easily dissolve in water. They form homogeneous solution. Whereas sand particles settle down. Thus sand is insoluble in water.
Question 75.


A mixture of powdered salt and sugar can be separated by the process of winnowing.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     Sieving
  4.     Decantation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
Winnowing can be used for separation only in the case when the difference in mass of two substances is high. For example, husk and grains.
In case of salt and sugar the difference in mass is not significant. Hence, they can't be separated by winnowing. Instead, sugar and powdered salt can be separated by sieving due to difference in size of crystals.
Question 76.


Two or more substances when mingle together, but do not combine chemically forms a 


  1.     Residue
  2.     Solution
  3.     Distillate 
  4.     Mixture
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Mixture
:
D
Mixture is formed by two or more elements or compounds which are physically mixed together but not chemically combined. These substances retain their properties even after mixing.
Question 77.


Which process is used to separate a soluble solid from a solution?


  1.     Filtration
  2.     Evaporation
  3.     Melting 
  4.     Sieving
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Evaporation
:
B
Evaporation is used to separate a soluble solid from a liquid. For example, if we boil a saltwater solution, the water will evaporate and the salt will be left behind.
Question 78.


Which of the following are the properties of a saturated solution?


  1.     No more amount of solute can be dissolved in it in any case.
  2.     More solute can be dissolved on heating.
  3.     More solute can be dissolved at same temperature and pressure.
  4.     No more solute can be dissolved at same temperature and pressure.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> More solute can be dissolved on heating.
:
B and D
The solution in which no more solute can be dissolved is known as a saturated solution. But on heating the saturated solution, solubility increases and thus more solute can be dissolved.
Question 79.


Rahul was going to cook rice, but he found weevils in the rice box.Which method of separation should he use to remove those weevils? [1 MARK]


Rahul Was Going To Cook Rice, But He Found Weevils In The Ri...


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> More solute can be dissolved on heating.
:

Rahul should use sieving as it will allow the smaller weevils to pass through it while the bigger rice particles will remain on the sieve.

Question 80.


In villages, we see women separating the grains from the chaff by throwing the grains from a certain height to fall back into a vessel. What is this process called? Explain. [3 MARKS]


In Villages, We See Women Separating The Grains From The Cha...


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> More solute can be dissolved on heating.
:

Process name: 1 Mark
Explanation: 2 Marks
This process is called Winnowing.


It is one of the methods used to separate heavier and lighter components of a mixture.
The mixture is exposed to blowing wind. The wind blows away the lighter materials, while the heavier parts fall back for recovery, hence separating the two substances of a mixture
